Any Buffy/Angel Fans Out There?
 
I couldn't see a thread for this so -

Who here absolutely loved the vampire series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

I own the whole series of both. I loved how they both ended but it was sad, nonetheless. Who was your favourite character?

I think mine was Willow (Alyson Hannigan.) Awesomest nerdy witch ever!

Well I watch Angel reruns on TNT and it looks pretty freakin' awesome. I don't know where they air Buffy or if they do anymore, but I would have loved to have seen it as a kid. It was something I just bypassed and didn't pay attention to and now I'm totally regretting it.

wrylilt 08-08-2010 01:00 AM

Geeze you make me feel old. *Sniff*

I was a teenager when Buffy was a series. LoL.

It was awesome. The first few years were a little lame and SOOOO 90's looking back but they were still hella funny. In the current vampire shows/movies everyone is always running for their lives and being dark.

Buffy could kick vampire ass then always come up with something funny to say.

I'd definitely recommend you check it out when you get a chance. Angel was a good spinoff but wasn't actually as easy to get involved with the characters and was a lot darker in my opinion.

You're not that much older than me XD I just didn't prefer watching sitcoms that weren't I Love Lucy and The Brady Bunch. But that's for another topic, haha.

Looking back on the stuff they have on Buffyverse/Wikia, it DID look so 90s. But I would have loved it anyway! Any mid-2000 series and higher just doesn't appeal to me. I wanted to see the Buffy Musical at Comic Con (their unofficial closing ceremony as of 2006 I heard) but left early so I didn't get to see it yet. What I have researched about the series though, I like!

I remembered watching buffy as a kid, with my sister. She was a teenager when it came out. :lol: I recently just saw all 7 seasons on Netflix, Marguerite. If you're looking for it and have netflix. 8D
My favorite characters would have to be Spike & Anya. I love their background and how they were developed. hehe.
But personally, I just think Giles is extremely hot. :drool:

When he eats the band candy? And when he plays the guitar and has an earring in one ear? :D

Anthony Stewart Head plays the king in Merlin now...

Umbrella 08-12-2010 09:31 AM

Yes! And the looks on everyone's faces when he was singing.. priceless!
My all-time favorite episodes was definitely the musical. :ninja:

Merlin? I've never heard of that.

wrylilt 08-12-2010 09:50 AM

It's basically a TV show about King Arthur (historical famous King in England.) and the Wizard Merlin.

Marguerite Blakeney 08-12-2010 11:20 PM

Yeah I totally watch Angel on Netflix. Haven't seen Buffy available on it yet, but when I'm babysitting my cousin and he's still asleep, I sneak a few episodes. (We use the Netflix for Wii, any idea what section I can look for Buffy in?)

wrylilt 08-13-2010 06:29 AM

Sorry I don't have netflix OR wii...

I own it all on DVD =D It's only like $90 for the whole series nowdays though.

Umbrella 08-14-2010 12:14 AM

You can add it to your instant queue online. I don't have the wii netflix, only the xbox netflix. :ninja:
Is the angel series any good? I finished Buffy and I'm not sure if I wanna watch Angel yet. xD

wrylilt 08-14-2010 09:43 AM

Angel is... darker I think. More people die and when something gets messed up - it gets majorly messed up!

Magentarose 08-19-2010 11:29 AM

Ah I remember I would stay up late to watch it on a school night.
A few months ago I watched the entire series all over again on Foxtel.
I think my boyfriend even starting to get into it... a bit. Though he wouldn't sit through it again even when I wanted to. Hehe. :oops:

I was happy with the final episode of Buffy but from what I remember the final of Angel was dissapointing. I haven't seen the Angel series since high school though.

My favourite episode of Angel was when he was turned into a Muppet.
Just because I loved the Muppets as a kid... and he looked so cute as one.

Umbrella 08-20-2010 12:44 PM

Holy crap Wrylit! I watched the entire first series of Merlin in one day! It's awesome. Just started the 2nd series online. Thanks for the recommendation. Hehe

wrylilt 08-22-2010 03:22 AM

Magentarose I liked the Angel ending.

"You take the 30,000 on the left, I'll take the 30,000 on the right."

and then Angel's comments that he wants to take on the dragon, which is fitting. :)

Umbrella, I only watch it for Giles, coz he is well.... hawt. He's no Pierce Brosnan though!

D.J. Dead 08-23-2010 03:19 AM

I used to watch Buffy every morning before school when I was younger, now I can't because I don't have the channel in my room and I wake up too early for it anyways.

Yeah... I thought it just seemed too open ended. That is just my opinion though. I like happy endings. I like how Buffy was pretty well wrapped up. The series went on for so long it was like they deserved a happy ending.

Explodey 03-03-2011 09:24 AM

I was hoping there was a Buffy thread (hope I don't get in trouble for bumping it...it was pretty buried!) I don't watch it anymore- I've seen all the eps at least 5x by now, so no need- but it was still one of my favorite series.

Marguerite Blakeney 03-03-2011 04:09 PM

Nah, it's chill if you revive this one...it was made in the last year anyway. I have DVR now so I can pretty much catch up on Angel when I'm able to. The problem is I only get 5 episodes at a time, so the ones I don't get to see get deleted anyway to make room for new ones. Boo. :P

Aspinou 03-03-2011 05:13 PM

I can only pick one favorite character!!! D:
xD I picked Buffy out of the lot, I couldn't really decide.
BTVS is my all-time favorite tv show!

and by the way I love when things "look so 90's", estetically I personally think it's more appealing.
